Take a peek past the cooling towers at FPL's nuclear power plant in Port St. Lucie!
During this exclusive event, girls will hear about all the different ways a career in nuclear energy can power their future! From security and safety operations to management and engineering, girls will see what day-to-day life is like in each of these roles as they tour through St. Lucie County's only nuclear power facility.
Girls will get to see for themselves just how much dedication, focus, and care it takes to power our communities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year as they step in to a simulated reactor control room to try their hand at keeping the plant running safely.
As one of the fastest growing forms of energy in the world, nuclear power could look totally different in the next few years alone! Luckly, girls can get a sneak peek at what could be waiting for them through demonstrations of the latest and greatest in nuclear technology. Then, put on your nuclear power pants and participate in a full dress-out! Hard hats, coveralls, gloves, and booties, try on all of the protective equipment that keeps plant workers safe as they keep our lights on.
And if all that wasn't sweet enough, girls will get to take a closer look at how nuclear power is produced through a candy model of the reactors!
